Daniel Day-Lewis Refused to Leave His Wheelchair for 8 Months While Filming My Left Foot

Dublin, 1989. Daniel Day-Lewis became Christy Brown — the disabled Irish painter. He didn't just play him. He became him. He refused to leave his wheelchair. For eight months. Crew members spoon-fed him every meal. He'd ask to be lifted to bed. He spoke only through painfully twisted lips. On set, he broke two ribs from contorting his body so hard. He kept filming. Director Jim Sheridan once whispered to him after wrap. "Daniel… you can stand now." He didn't.
